EngineeringFrontend Developer

This is a role for the consummate creative technologist who not only designs, but also codes. You will get to directly implement product flows you design, and use the most cutting edge web technologies to push the limits of websites.

Very uniquely at Flint, design is the product. It’s not just about designing our user’s interface. It’s also about designing the design systems the Flint sites rely on - creating a system that at once can reproduce frontends reliably but also one that AI agents can understand.

It’s also about incorporating taste into the AI to produce beautiful websites for our customer’s users.

Designing the Flint product and its core workflows
Building and maintaining the core frontend application using Next.js and Tailwind CSS
Implementing design systems and component libraries in Flint website templates.
Leading UXR sessions, turning user feedback into product feedback seamlessly
Working closely with the CEO to develop product vision
Working closely with both founders, all engineers, and solutions engineers in weekly based sprints to bring our vision to life
Working with our designer to implement and extend Flint's visual identity across our product and the world
